Not looking good, none of the methods I've tried so far have even given me a boot animation :(

I'm taking a look at what's available. So far the most straightforward upgrade methods haven't worked despite the newer kernel. I'm now trying to rebuild the rom from scratch, so don't be surprised if the upgrade requires a factory reset. There's no telling that this'll even work at all with...

If it's final enough that the signature is there to allow it to be flashed to AT&T's locked bootloader without failing, then yes this would be the start. If anyone knows the answer to that let me know. Otherwise we have to keep waiting until release.

Yes, either that or adb shell with root access will work.

No worries :) However I'm not going to make custom ports because I wouldn't personally use/test them, and my S4 is no longer a daily driver. That being said I do enjoy hacking on this ROM in my free time, so once we have a working L kernel for this phone I'll do what I can to port L GPE over if...

Unfortunately that appears to be wishful thinking for now. I tested it and it looks like we can't boot lollipop with a KitKat kernel :(

I don't know when the samsung gpe lollipop release will ship. As soon as the official gpe s4 build shows up from Samsung, then I'll look into making it work with safestrap.

The code portions are typed in the terminal as root (su.) The rest is done in the GUI as described.

Last night I made some progress on wifi tethering. I now know the commands to make it work, but I haven't figured out an easy way to implement the fix for everyone yet. 1. Toggle Wifi off. 2. # rmmod dhd; insmod /system/lib/modules/dhd.ko "firmware_path=/system/etc/wifi/bcmdhd_apsta.bin...

GPS works for me on NB1.

TouchWiz ROMs have been known to cheat on benchmarks, so it's possible that's what you're seeing. For the vibrations I'd make sure that SELinux is set to permissive, but aside from that I'm not sure.

So I just gave this another test. On first connection it failed because it was having trouble finding files related to wpa_supplicant, which is interesting and may be related to internal wifi tethering not working. After setting skip wpa_supplicant, it successfully started broadcasting as an...

Hmm, I thought I tried that one to no avail. I'll give it another test.

Possibly. I'm not sure if a backup from safestrap will fully remove safestrap and clean everything up properly, as I've never tried it. I'd try the backup from safestrap and if you still have the custom logo or the safestrap startup splash after the flash and factory reset, then you need to go...

That'll mostly do the trick. If you want complete stock you should flash the stock AT&T (or VZW) image from ODIN, then do a factory reset after that. Then the Samsung custom boot logo should be removed.
